Converting E00 Files

Although some GIS applications support using E00 files directly you will likely find it more efficient to convert them to another format. This can be easily done with ogr2ogr.

Converting to a Shapefile

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -a_srs EPSG:4326 dnnet dnnet.e00
This will convert the dnnet.e00 file located in the current directory into a set of files in the subdirectory dnnet. The subdirectory will be created by ogr2ogr and will contain shape files matching the feature types included in the E00 file. The -a_srs switch assigns the WGS 84 geographic spatial reference to the new shapefiles (it does not transform the coordinates).

Converting to PostgreSQL/PostGIS

Assuming you have an existing database, you should create a new schema to hold the layers[1]:
